Nevada County picayune., 1887-06-29

"Tlis is the best town on the Iron Mountain road between Little Rock and Texarkana." said a Pres colt citizen to me this morning. and l must say he has cause to be proud of his town. A very large general business is done here about seven to twelve thousand bales of cotton are bandled here in year. and the vast fruit pro- duction swells the business to an immense amount.
 From figures gathered from a compilation of Eugene F. White, formerly of the Picayune, inc re- ceipts in one year for all products amount to SSl2,3O2. This crowds a round million very closely, and ere many months, will doubtlessly exceed that sum. The first peach es on the Iron Mountain road it is said. are shipped from Prescott
 For fruit of this variety the country is said to be exceptionally well adapted. The Boston and CaddO mountains on the north and northwest keep off the blighting cold storms as well as protecting the country from the devastating cyclones.
 ARTISAN WELLS,
 having an uneXhausted supply of the finest water slightly inpregna ted with sulphur, are in abundance. The town is also a lumbershipper of note, shipping several hundred cars a month a year
 The Prescott Lumber company has capital of 800 1000; is incor. porated, and stock in it IS owned to some extent by St. Louis men. x. T. Richmond and E. A. Stanton are the principal men in the com pany. and are ably managing the concern; SlO,O00 of the stock has been paid iu and the concern is on a most eqcelleut footing.
 The town has good set of mer. chants-men who are alive to all questions of importance affecting it's growing interests. The stores are substantial, mostly built of brick.
 There are two newspapers. The Nevada County Picayune is one of the cleanest and most spicy sheets it has been the pleasure of your correspondent to glance over for some time. It's enterprlsing and highly intelligent editor, MT. J. w. Gardner, has equipped his office with all the modern machin- cry with which journalism of to, day is made less an avocation of toll. \ new power press turns oil han dsome folio, trst-claSs cutter and job press and a splen- did new mailer, aid in making the work turned from the Picayune of flee of the most artistic order. Mir. Gardner has reason to feel proud of his plant and the city should re- .joice in having Il sound eXpounder of no uncertain principles of De- mocracy. Success to the Pica- yune and it's editor.
 The Dispatch is also published here by MT. J. A. Ansley, who is an exponent of the Greenback the ory.
 There is quite an extensive hub, spoke and handle factory here, run hv T. NJ. Necl, who is also manu- lacturer of pine and oak lumber.
 Thos. s. Bryan, is the clever sewing machine agent. and in con ncctiOn with this business Mrs. Bryan has finely selected stock of millinery goods.
 E. l.. Harwood is young man of promising prospects. He has a lucrative business. being engaged in the sale of groceries, and runs an ice cream restaurant. Here l met Isaac Moore, formerly of jer- seville. Ill., who came here and opened a meat market, in which he is meeting with deserved success.
 There are few lines of business here in which inlerprisc is not dis played to commendable degree. One of the finest barber shops one finds in these days is that of Adam Frederick, who has also hot and cold baths connected with his bus. mess. It makes cleanliness get close to GOdlineSs.
 Our friend T, C. Trevilian is en- gagged in the meat business and re- ioices in first class shop and
